On Thursday, January 25th, 2018, SciFY held the 23rd SciFY Academy titled “Technology in Ancient Greece“ at INNOVATHENS.

Professor Theodosis Tasios led us on a fascinating historical journey from mythology to the beginnings of the Roman Empire.

Ancient Greek culture is characterized by a profound love of technology, which is evident in its impressive advancements in numerous fields.

Favored by the social and economic conditions of the time, the ingenuity of the Greeks provided us with outstanding examples of technological innovation and its application at every level, from toys to large-scale construction projects.

War machines, river diversions, measuring devices, aqueducts, automata, mining, medicine, machine components, telecommunications, pumps, shipbuilding, and dozens more make up an ever-growing list, culminating in the marvelous Antikythera Mechanism.
